ImageImageWaves caressed the wooden hull of the ship, water lapping against the sides as the boat rocked back and forth on the calm seas. The sky was the same bright blue as the water, meeting at the horizon and going on as far as the eye could see. With not a cloud in the sky nor a gust of wind, the boat could go in neither direction. It was bad luck, to be still for so long, it could draw monsters to your ship after all. On board were forms huddled together, their legs tied, their mouths stuffed with cloth so as to keep from crying out.

"It's bad luck to have a lady on board." The Captain was saying, his lips spread thin, as though he was at his wits end. Their ship had been still for days, their food stores were beginning to run low. The women of the ship quivered with fear, praying to whatever deity they believed in. One by one they were cast off, unable to swim with their limbs bound, the cloth in their mouths quickly soaking up liquid. They weren't monsters, they did have hearts.
If luck were a lady, surely she would have never dreamed of this fate for her kind.

ImageSlowly, gently, the water caressed them, carrying them down into the darkness of the depths. Panic, movement and then silence. Bubbles surrounded bodies, filling their lungs with air until they could breathe once more, legs bound turning into a tail that could kick and with powerful strokes carrying them away from the ship that had so easily rid themselves of its female passengers.

Could such a thing be? After all, there are no such things as mermaids and yet, here they are, tails swishing, gills breathing, heart beating. The gentle lull of the ocean carries them forward to an island where others of their kind reside, cast the same hand by fate and tricked by those they had trusted. Together they lived, their home half sunken, ruled by the first of the mermaids. They lived with a mission and in revenge, drowned sailors who grew too close to their home. Outsiders were not welcomed, those who grew too close to the island met an untimely end.


Image


ImageTogether they sit on their half sunken island, some perching on broken masts and overturned hulls, underneath the light of the moon their voices fill the sky, calling sailors to their deaths. It is on a night just like this that a very strange happenstance occurs. Their leader, the Mother of all Mermaids, has been captured. Four sailors who survived their call, bent on revenge, stole her away while she was sleeping. They wishes to overtake the island, to open it up to all humans and revel that their inane jabber was not insanity after all. They want to prove to the world that women with voices like stars and tails that shine like the moon exist.

As more humans begin to arrive on the island in order to cage mermaids up, they will fight back against humanity. Their battle has only just begun.

Reservations || I'm not going to require much, simply your commitment that you will stick to this RP through thick and thin. Whether everyone else jumps ship, you must promise that you will stay and see this work through until the end. If you are simply looking for a temporary release from boredom, look somewhere else. If you have no intention of ever replying or finishing your character: DO NOT JOIN.

Competition || There will be many spots open and if this proves to have much interest I may open more up. There will be no competition as I do not deem this worthy of my time. If you want a spot and they're all taken, PM me and I will see what I can do.

Time || Once your reservation is in go ahead and begin working on your character, regardless of whether I have given you the go ahead. If you do not submit a WIP within forty eight hours I will assume you have lost interest and void your reservation. After the forty eight hours are up you have five days to complete your character.

Appearance || I love beautiful things. The more over the top fantastical your character page is, the better. Speaking of beautiful things if you have read this far, please include your face claim in your reservation. FC's are anime only.

Rules || This is very easy, follow my rules. Follow the site's rules, break either and you may just find that your character has been pushed off a building or flattened by a tank.

Literacy || The occasional mistake is fine as I realize not everyone is fluent in English, but I am asking that you try your best. There will be a three hundred word minimum per post and I require that you post at least once a week. The more you can reply, the higher standing you'll have in the RP. Please, oh please, proofread all of your work before posting, it makes reading your replies so much easier.

Commitment || If you join, you are committing. You cannot just disappear in the middle without warning anyone. If you do disappear without warning, I will not allow you to join any other RP of mine. I require you to post once a week, not anymore, not any less. If you find it too difficult to take a half an hour out of your day once a week to reply, then don't join.

Everything Else || If I've forgotten something, please feel free to PM me. If you have questions, either drop a PM or post it in the OOC and I will answer it to the best of my ability. To find the reservation password, please highlight the text below.

If you've read everything then please tell me your favorite color!
